ACUTE HEMODIALYSIS ACCESS

Mahurkar™* Elite Acute Catheters

Our family of Mahurkar™* Elite acute dual and triple lumen catheters offers features focused on acute dialysis care — providing recirculation efficiency and maintaining preferred catheter flow rates and pressures during treatment.

Explore short term hemodialysis catheter options

Innovative features to optimize patient benefits

Discover the central venous catheter (CVC) catheter sizing and configuration options availabile with the Mahurkar™* Elite acute catheter line.

Consistent features available across 12 Fr, 13.5 Fr (dual lumen) and 12.5 Fr (triple lumen) catheter options:

  • Minimized recirculation rates to < 1% in forward and reverse flows, supported by symmetrical tip design (bench-top testing)1
  • Catheter conformity for placement and fit: This catheter shaft softens at least 54% post-insertion2
  • Maximized internal flow area: Large Double-D™* lumen designs maximize internal catheter diameter to provide equal and consistent flow rates with lower arterial pressures.1,†

Discover the benefits

Catheter length and style options

Configurations for internal jugular (IJ), subclavian or femoral catheter insertion

For dialysis patient body habitus and catheter placement considerations, the Mahurkar™* Elite acute catheters are offered in 13cm to 30cm lengths.

Refer to the ordering charts for all sizing and length options.

Increase catheter insertion and patient fit with multiple catheter shaft configurations:

  • Straight extension (1)
  • Curved extension (2)
  • Pre-curved shaft (3)

Reimbursement and procedure coding

Explore tools and guidelines to help your staff optimize the process of procedural CPT and HCPCS code selection — for hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and dialysis access maintenance.

Accessories for acute catheters

Pair catheter use with compatible short-term dialysis procedural tools and accessories for proper catheter placement and management.

Mahurkar™* Elite Acute 12 Fr Dual Lumen Catheter

Consistently achieves dialysis flow rates up to 400 mL/min.1,†

Indicated for hemodialysis, apheresis and infusion, these short term catheters are available in:

  • Straight extension
  • Curved extension
  • Pre-curved shaft
  • Kit, IC tray and PASS tray configurations

Mahurkar™* Elite Acute 12.5 Fr Triple Lumen Catheter

With a modified Double-D lumen design, this catheter maximizes internal catheter diameter — consistently achieving equal flow rates up to 400 mL/min combined with low arterial pressures.1,†

This triple lumen dialysis catheter supports the preservation of patient vascular access by reducing the need for PICC line placements — alternatively utilizing the third lumen, without compromising flow rates or complications.3

Indicated for hemodialysis, apheresis, infusion, high pressure contrast injection and central venous (CV) pressure monitoring, these catheters are available in:

  • Straight extension
  • Curved extension
  • Kit, IC tray, and PASS tray configurations

Mahurkar™* Elite Acute 13.5 Fr High Flow Dual Lumen Catheter

An optimal high flow catheter that consistently achieves flow rates up to 450mL/min.1,†

Indicated for hemodialysis, apheresis and infusion, these catheters are available in:

  • Straight extension
  • Curved extension
  • Pre-curved shaft
  • Kit, IC tray, and PASS tray configurations

Safety information
Mahurkar™* Elite acute triple lumen acute catheter
Intended for short-term central venous access for hemodialysis, apheresis, infusion, central venous pressure monitoring, and pressure injection of contrast media. The maximum infusion rate is 5 ml/sec for power injection of contrast media.

Mahurkar™* Elite acute dual lumen acute catheter
Intended for short-term central venous access for hemodialysis, apheresis, and infusion.

Mahurkar™* Elite acute dual lumen and triple lumen acute catheters
Remove the catheter as soon as it is no longer needed and for femoral inserted catheters they should not be implanted longer than three to four days maximum per KDOQI guidelines. Do not use catheter in thrombosed vessels or for subclavian puncture when a ventilator is in use.

See the device manual for detailed information regarding the implant procedure, indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and potential complications/adverse events.
